Discovering me … one stitch at a time

Here we are at Friday again and I never got to tell you about LAST weekend!

Biggest has been obsessed with cooking shows so we decided to plan a menu, shop, and cook an entire meal together. It was so much fun!

Tom helped Biggest type up the menu.

He worked hard on his knife skills.

And took great pride in presentation.

He made the Avocado sauce on his own. It was delicious!

We were really proud of him.

There was chocolate fondue for dessert. We don’t have a fondue pot so made one out of an oil diffuser and a bowl.

Our resident food critic says “Keep it!”

It was such a fun activity to do together and we are already planning our next menu!

I spent Sunday in the kitchen too… Making yogurt for the first time. I felt very scientific with my thermometer.

10 hours later, we had cute little cups of yogurt!!!

It was really good!!! I can’t wait to experiment with other recipes.

Lest you think that all we did was eat last weekend, we also drank the best Sangria. (Sangria = Summer)

I got this book from the library and was excited to show Tom. It turned out he had already read it! We are a perfect match. By the way… I am now obsessed with George and Martha Washington, think that John Adams is a total nerd, and greatly admire Thomas Jefferson.

We went bike riding.

There was a neighborhood yard sale. One lady was selling 5(!) spinning wheels! I was incredulous that someone living so close to me owned 5 spinning wheels and that we weren’t best friends. I don’t think I need to tell you how hard it was to walk away without bringing one home.

The cooking!! How fun – can’t wait to see what he whips up next! I actually laughed out loud at your disbelief to not be best friends with the spinning wheel lady – I think it’s because those who are like us are maybe “afraid to show the crazy.,,” so it can be harder to find local kindred spirits. Once you do though – friends for life!!
